Chapter 29: Day 2
Thousands of miles away, Yunmeng Daze.
In the early morning, the weather is gray, and more than a dozen small fishing boats rise and fall in the wind by the lake.
The old town was sparsely populated, with only a few fishermen, sitting on the threshold smoking cigarette pouches, watching a riverwalker passing by the old street.
Hoof, hoof......
The crisp sound of horses' hooves has become the only sound on the old street.
Qiu Tianhe held the reins, looking at the town he had traveled to when he was young, and his eyes gradually gave birth to a feeling of being separated from the world.
More than 30 years ago, Qiu Tianhe was about 20 years old, about the same age as Night Terror, just came out of the mountain, with a good knife technique, and with great ambitions, he came to Yun Mengze, which is known as the holy land of swordsmen in the world.
It is said to be a holy place, not because Yun Mengze has any special meaning, but simply because the strongest swordsman in the world is here.
Qiu Tianhe, like all young people at that time, thought that on the day he left Yun Mengze, he would be able to take away the name of 'Dao Kui', and return to his hometown with honor like the champion of the new department.
But unfortunately, when he finally left here, although he became a real 'knife man', he failed to fulfill his heart's wish, and took away only the love and hatred that has not been settled so far.
I remember the beginning of everything, it was in this Huangquan Town.
Qiu Tianhe, as now, walked on this old street with a knife and a horse.
At that time, there was a very handsome young ranger who came to meet him, dressed in black, with a 'dragon knife' at his waist, not as strong as the night boy, but much crazier than the night boy.
The two passed by, he glanced at the other party's dragon knife, and the young ranger looked at his Tianhe knife.
Then there was the crisp sound of the 'choking' knife drawing, and the eight-step mad knife was fast, but his Tianhe knife was faster.
Since then, he has an older brother named Zheng Feng, drinking with each other, practicing knives together, and going to Junshantai to see like-minded swordsmen and chivalrous girls together.
Those days were the most carefree time in Qiu Tianhe's life, and it may also be Zheng Feng's most carefree time.
If it weren't for the later show girl turmoil, maybe the two of them would still be going around in Yunmengze, drinking and talking, fantasizing about the day when they would replace Xuanyuan Lao'er and become the sword leader.
It's a pity that the world makes people, and after a turmoil, he only got rid of his identity as a rogue and obtained a free body today; And Zheng Feng didn't even have a chance to turn over, he had already returned to the loess and became a person of the past.
On the contrary, it is Xuanyuan Lao'er, who is still sitting in the position of the sword leader, and there is no change from before.
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years, maybe that's what it says......
Qiu Tianhe led the horse through the old street, recalling the bits and pieces of the past, and stopped when he came to an old wine shop.
The name of the wine shop is 'Huangquan Knife Mound', a shop opened by an old swordsman in previous years, when he first came to Zezhou, he often came to listen to the shopkeeper's bragging with Zheng Feng.
And now things are not people, the old shopkeeper has already entered the ground, and the girl who used to be beautiful and lovely has also become a half-year who still has charm.
Qiu Tianhe parked his horse at the door and looked inside, and it could be seen that the young Jianghu guests sitting on the four wine tables with sabers were chatting with his friends about the rivers and lakes in full swing, just like he had back then.
However, the character he is talking about now has changed from the peak swordsman thirty years ago to the person he has come from:
“…… Qiu Daxia must have come over and roared so loudly on the Mingyu Tower in the capital, if he didn't come to fight with Xuanyuan Lao'er, wouldn't it be a thunderstorm and a small ......."
"There are already more than 3,000 people on Junshantai, and they are all waiting. It is said that Junshantai's heart is really dark, not to mention going to the island to sit, just a position on the cruise ship to stand and watch, it costs two taels of silver......"
"The county town has opened a handicap, and the revenge hero wins one and loses ten, how much have you pressed?"
"I pressed thirty taels of Xuanyuan Lao'er, and I supported Qiu Daxia, but I can't give money to the dealer for nothing, isn't it ......"
"Cut ......"
……
Qiu Tianhe took a breath, and the emotions that had finally brewed were wiped out by these little cubs, and he didn't even have the interest to go in and drink and pretend to be a little gone.
In the wine shop, the proprietress opened the curtain with the appetizers, saw Qiu Tianhe outside the door, was stunned for a moment, and then turned her head:
"Gangzi, your friend is here."
Qiu Tianhe was quite surprised to see this, tied the horse to the door, and entered the old wine shop:
"I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and it's not easy for Sister Lan to recognize me."
"I'm in my fifties, and I still call people sisters and sisters, and I'm not ashamed."
"Hehe......"
Qiu Tianhe said a few words, opened the curtain of the wine shop, and came to the backyard.
The backyard is not large, and there are a lot of ropes hanging on it, on which the saury caught from the lake is dried, and you can smell the strong fishy smell when you enter the door.
In the kitchen, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper, holding a pot and spoon in one hand, stir-frying side dishes, saw Qiu Tianhe come in, and said calmly:
"Sit down, I'll finish stir-frying these two dishes."
Qiu Tianhe came to the window and stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Xuanyuan Tiangang, who was no different from the man in the market, thought about it and sighed lightly:
"Zheng Feng left at the beginning of the year."
The action of stir-frying a meal.
Xuanyuan Tiangang was silent for a moment and asked:
"How did you get there?"
"Died on the wine table, it should be because the dark wound of the year was not healed."
Xuanyuan Tiangang frowned, although he had been helping Zheng Feng and his sister back then, he even broke with his family after the turmoil, gave up his good future and withdrew directly from the rivers and lakes.
But the former friend did end up now because of his Xuanyuan family's calculations, as long as his surname is Xuanyuan, the shame in his heart can't be erased.
"Zheng Feng can leave an heir?"
"If the injury is not healed, how can I keep my heirs. I took in a righteous son, and his talent is good, and when I went to prison, it was that kid who fished it out. It is estimated that it will not be long before he will go to Junshantai to seek revenge. ”
"Yesterday there was a cause, today there will be a result, and it is right to seek revenge. This is the Xuanyuan family's business, and it has nothing to do with me more than twenty years ago. ”
Qiu Tianhe sighed, understanding that Xuanyuan Tiangang was open-minded, but the difficulties in his heart were greater than him.
After all, on the one hand, the blood is thicker than water, on the other hand, there are close friends, the two sides have a feud to the death, the more affectionate and righteous, the more people are not people inside and out, and they can't help them, but helping anyone is ruthless and unjust.
Qiu Tianhe knew that when he said these things, he could only increase his annoyance, so he didn't say anything more, entered the kitchen, picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried meat:
"The sword skill has not regressed, and it is as aura as it was back then......"
"This is Aranche's, I want to talk about it directly, there is no need to brag about it."
“……”
Qiu Tianhe was slightly embarrassed and blinked:
"Near Zhu Zhechi, Lan Meizi's knife function has been practiced to this point, and it is not what you bring...... Yes, it's still the taste of the year, Zheng Feng is good at this bite, and then two taels of Huangquan roast, after eating, he will go to Junshan Terrace to call the battle, and it is worth it to die on the stage in this life. ”
"Heh......"
……
——
The sun was rising, and the morning sun was shining on the floor in front of the shelf bed through the window paper.
There were no other guests in the inn, so it was very quiet in the morning, and only the words from the window could be heard:
"Goo~Goo-"
It sounds like chirping, but it's actually a bored bird that's waking up.
Between the curtains, the dark incense remains.
Night Terror Hall was lying on his side, his right arm was stretched out to be used as a pillow for Sanniang, his cheek was attached to the soft bun, his lower abdomen felt like congealed fat, and there was an indescribable softness in the warmth.
Luo Ning turned her back to the two of them, was held in her arms by Sanniang, and slept quietly with the forearms of the Night Terror.
The sleeping appearance of the three of them is a bit strange to say.
Originally, Night Terror wanted to be like the eldest master, lying in the middle with one in one hand, but Ning'er was thin-skinned and refused to lean into her arms in front of Sanniang, so she had to sleep in the innermost.
Sanniang had been bullied for a long time before, and when she saw Ning'er's reluctance, she probably wanted to take revenge, so she hugged Ning'er, who was dizzy and didn't want to move.
Night Terror's arm span is very wide, and there is no pressure to hug them at one time, and the heart is enjoying it, but there is also a little problem with sleeping like this - using his arm as a pillow, and being pillowed until now, his right hand is basically unconscious, and his whole arm is numb.
But a man, it should be a little wronged, and I didn't feel uncomfortable when I was in the middle of the night terrors.
Hearing the call of birds, Night Terror opened his eyes, looked up cautiously, and saw that Sanniang and Ning'er, who had worked all night, had not woken up yet, so they did not move, silently perceiving their physical condition.
After being wheeled overnight, although the vigorous spirit still did not subside, the impetuous qi and blood still stabilized, and I felt that my ears and eyes were clear, and every inch of my skin seemed to be much clearer than before.
And the qi veins in the body change the most, and the internal breath is long, and even if you don't lift your qi, you can feel the terrifying explosive power hidden in the body.
As for the rest, not much has changed. The strongest effect of 'Tianlangzhu' should be 'reborn', adjusting muscles, bones, and qi veins, so that the body roots and bones can reach the most perfect state.
Because it had been adjusted last time, there was no change in the muscles and bones this time, but the qi veins were broadened and opened.
Although the improvement of strength is also very large, the qi vein can be polished by accumulating hard practice, even if you don't eat Tianlang Pearl, it will take a few years to reach the current state; Tianlang Zhu took half a catty of snow lake flowers to practice, and the main role should be to quench the muscles and forge the bones, so it is indeed a bit wasteful.
However, the material of this Tianlang pearl was obtained by Zhang Jinglin from Beiliang, and the night terror hall picked up a big bargain, and it can't be said to be painful.
Thinking about it for a while, it may be that there was a change in the breathing rate, Sanniang, who was leaning in front of her, her eyelashes moved, and then she opened her apricot eyes.
Night Terror put his hair in a bun and whispered in his ear:
"It's okay, go back to sleep and rest a little more."
Pei Xiangjun came to his senses, his face, which had returned to normal, was dyed red again, and he turned his head to look at the fox in his arms:
"It's really useless, just like her, she cries and cries in three or two times, and then lies flat and doesn't move, how did you regulate it before?"
Night Terror Hall actually felt that Sanniang was not much more powerful than Ning'er, but she didn't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, and she didn't want to show weakness in front of Ning'er, so she forced herself to make a comfortable appearance.
For these, Night Terror Hall naturally saw through it and didn't say anything, but said:
"I haven't taken so many tonics before, Ning'er parried, yesterday was a little light and heavy, didn't hurt you, right?"
Pei Xiangjun felt a little sour, but it was okay, leaning his back against the chest of the Night Terror Hall, feeling it slightly, and finding that the Night Terror Hall seemed to be tense again, he bit his lower lip and glanced at the Night Terror Hall:
"Shocking, do you still want to ......?"
“……”
Night Terror Hall must have been a little thoughtful, and seeing that Sanniang was so considerate, he quietly put his hand under the thin quilt......
"Huh~......"
Pei Xiangjun's face suddenly turned a little redder, his hands covered his lips, his eyes were watery, and he was conditioned silently.
After a little intimacy, Pei Xiangjun saw the fox in front of him, his eyelashes moved, and then he opened his eyes, looked back at her, and turned his cheeks back, wanting to break free and stay away.
"What are you running?"
Pei Xiangjun hugged Luo Ning with his hand and pulled the hand of the Night Terror Hall over.
!
Luo Ning's eyes were suddenly embarrassed, and he pressed the arm of the night terror who bullied the two of them:
"Little thief, you promised not to mess around yesterday......"
Pei Xiangjun hugged Luo Ning and frowned:
"That was yesterday, and it's the next day. Don't move, let the hall rub it. ”
"Sanniang, are you used to him? His inch-gritty temperament ......"
Luo Ning saw that Night Terror Hall was really moving, and his face gradually turned red, and there was no way to do it, so he closed his eyes and put on a look of not taking the initiative and not cooperating......
……
In the blink of an eye, the sun is on the rise.
The windows in the room opened to let in the warm sunlight of the room.
Pei Xiangjun put on a goose-yellow skirt and sat elegantly in front of the dressing table, her already familiar and beautiful cheeks were a little more moist.
Luo Ning stood behind and helped Sanniang coil her hair, but she looked very fierce, seeing Sanniang secretly looking at the night terror hall behind her to change clothes, she also straightened her cheek with her hand:
"Sit down, don't move."
"What are you murdering? Why didn't I see you so horizontal just now? ”
"Yesterday was the first time to see you, accommodate you, next time you will act for the tiger, don't blame me for being polite......"
"Cut~"
……
Night Terror changed his robe in the back, because he was a little presumptuous just now, and it was not easy to interject and joke, after silently changing into Hei Ya's robe, he rubbed his old waist that had been pinched by Ning Er for a long time, said goodbye to the two, and left the inn first......
——
In the small town along the river, the forbidden army was on standby in the shade, and from time to time scouts galloped from the Wushan Mountain in the distance, and ran into the inn to report the various news they had just discovered:
"Zezhou's soldiers and horses have caught up with King Wu's team, and in the early hours of the morning, a fight was held, and many people accompanying him were captured, and King Wu broke through with more than ten personal soldiers......"
"Among the people arrested by King Wu, there is a person named Zhang Wenyuan?"
"I haven't had time to verify it, so it's not clear ......"
"Check it out again."
In the hall of the inn, Dongfang Liren was dressed in a silver python robe, posing as a queen, standing behind two put together tables.
On the table is a detailed map of Wuzhou, and there are various arrow circles on it, marking the location of King Wu and the imperial court's soldiers and horses.
Judging from the battle, it looks like a general who can fight well, strategizing and commanding the troops and horses outside in the handsome battle.
But in fact, the soldiers and horses of Zezhou who were encircled and suppressed in the mountains were completely exempt from this command, not because the east could not be transferred to people, but because they did not dare to rashly give orders from a long distance.
In the absence of entering the mountain, Dongfang Liren can only deduce and analyze the situation in the mountain here according to the information transmitted by the scouts.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses of Zezhou had almost caught King Wu, and if they didn't take the forbidden army into the mountains to take credit, they would have to run away in soy sauce in vain, Dongfang Liren raised his eyes and looked at the street outside the door, and muttered secretly:
"This villain, why hasn't he come yet, he can't forget the time in Gentle Township......"
Although she was a little anxious, Dongfang Liren didn't mean to send someone to find it, after all, she knew that Night Terror Hall was very timid last night, and she had to let Night Terror Hall enjoy it after working hard for so many days.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was a greeting from the black chief arrest outside the door:
"Bird-sama is here!"
"Twitter~"
Dongfang looked up, and could see a big bird on the sunny street outside the door, and after responding to the chief catcher and the maid who greeted her, he jumped up the steps and raised his wings to greet her.
In the corner of the hall, Xuanji Zhenren had nothing to do, and had been drinking alone. Seeing the broken bird bird of revenge coming over, he slightly hooked his hand and teased:
"Giggle~......"
"Huh?"
Seeing that her sister who had no conscience was there, Bird Bird still had it as a chicken, and immediately became unhappy, posing as 'Bird Bird is very fierce', and ran over and raised her claws to kick Xuanji Zhenren's shoes.
Dongfang saw the bird coming, and knew that the night terror hall had arrived, so he came to the door and looked out.
On the sunny street, the night terror hall wearing a black robe with a saber hanging from his waist came from a distance, and along the way he was also greeting the black Ya Zong Hunt he knew, with a spring breeze on his face, and he looked very good.
When Dongfang Li saw this cold and extraordinary appearance, he knew that the Night Terror Hall was resting well, but he didn't know why, after seeing the big villain, and then seeing the well-dressed Night Terror Hall, his heart was very strange.
And Xuanji Zhenren, who was shaking his head with the hem of his skirt in his mouth, found that Night Terror Hall was coming from outside, and he also restrained his cynical demeanor, put on the posture that a Taoist master should have, and came to the east behind him......
